Gotcha??!!
Ok, so Banna, Heidi and Heather called our bluff. April Fools!
We saw Melanie’s post late last night and were totally fooled. We did the math and talked about how close together the two babies would be, etc. Then this morning I woke up to Hunter and Emma plotting some April Fools pranks, and thought, “Hey, wait a minute! I bet that Mark and Melanie are pulling a joke.” As soon as Rob woke up I revealed my suspicions to him. We said, hey, why don’t we play along? So we got the kids that were awake in on it too, and staged the photo. And yes, it is a digital thermometer. I didn’t think the photo would be so closely scrutinized. (And you’re right, I am not the tink touching kind, but, because I am a mother, I have touched it all before.) Because there has been a “procedure,” it is nearly impossible for me to get pregnant again, so I don’t have pregnancy tests lying around the house!
So if we got you, sorry! But you have to admit, that is the perfect picture.
It is a great photo and looks genuine (until closer inspection). I thought that if one was tricking and one was telling the truth I picked you for the truth and Mark and Mel for trickers (sorry Mel). Good trick! Many people were fooled. 😛
That really is the perfect picture, and the kids did a great job of looking very excited too. That was quite a prank by both you and Mel. And many were fooled, great prank guys!
WE KNEW IT! We love the picture.
Heidi- I wonder what Melanie thinks about you believing that the one that had “the procedure” was telling the truth 🙂 Or was that not known?
I put the Gotcha after the OOPS so if anyone came across this later, they could still have some surprise. Sorry if that threw some people off.
Good times!
